Biodegradable Casket for Burial or Cremation in Seagrass - Eco-Friendly & Sustainable
The eco-friendly way to say farewell, our Biodegradable Casket for Burial or Cremation in Seagrass is sustainably crafted by hand primarily from willow. Available to the public and ships free within the continental USA, this is a beautiful, affordable, and earth-conscious resting place for your loved one.
You can use our biodegradable seagrass caskets for the funeral or memorial service followed by a natural ground burial or cremation. Each casket/coffin includes a full length lid, and you can also choose to add a 3/4 length lid to allow viewing of the body during the service or a private family visitation. There are no metal components in the casket or burial shroud (add on item), so these are all suitable for cremation or natural ground burial.
The Seagrass Casket features a lightly rounded top with seagrass rope woven into the willow siding of the casket. The interior is lined with natural unbleached cotton, matching pillow and privacy shield. Available in two sizes, 5' 9" or the larger 6' 5". These casket sizes are designed for individuals up to 5'9" or 6'5" in height, respectively.

Sustainability
- Our eco-friendly caskets are crafted by skilled weavers as a small cottage industry, not in factories. They are created from sustainable materials such as fast-growing willow, seagrass or bamboo which don’t require heavy machinery for harvesting, giving these funeral products a small carbon footprint. Burial of these caskets also help reduce your own carbon footprint, as most caskets you find at the funeral home feature metal components and/or heavy chemical finishes. The seagrass used to produce this casket is not harvested from delicate marine environments, but rather cultivated in rice paddy-like fields that are seasonally flooded to support the growing seagrass plant.
